Billionaire investor and longtime Bitcoin bull Tim Draper has denied moving his Bitcoin after blockchain analysts linked him to a large $BTC transfer to Coinbase Prime.　　“Havent touched my $BTC,” Draper told Cointelegraph on Friday, adding that he still expects Bitcoin to reach $250,000 within one year.　　The statement came after blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain reported Thursday that a wallet “possibly linked” to Draper had transferred 1,000 Bitcoin worth about $62 million to Coinbase Prime, citing data from Arkham.　　The case highlights both the growing role of blockchain analytics in tracking large crypto transfers and the challenges of independently confirming wallet ownership.　　Draper bought nearly 30,000 $BTC in 2014　　Draper is best known in the crypto community as one of Bitcoins earliest high-profile investors, having won a US Marshals Service auction for nearly 30,000 Bitcoin seized by US authorities from Silk Road-related holdings in 2014.　　According to Forbes, Draper paid about $18.7 million, or roughly $632 per Bitcoin, for the holdings, now worth about $1.9 billion.　　Arkham labels the wallet involved in the transfer as “Tim Draper？”, indicating a tentative attribution, but does not publicly explain the basis for the classification.　　Source: Arkham　　The wallets transaction history shows several interactions with Coinbase Prime over the past year, including a

Why Brazil's Central Bank Wants to Classify Stablecoins as Electronic Monetary Instruments

Central Bank of Brazil pushes for electronic money regulation for stablecoins　　The debate around stablecoins is taking shape in Brazil, and the central banks opinion offers an insight into what might happen and how these tools might be considered in upcoming regulation.　　In a recent hearing on Tuesday within the Congress Economic Development Committee, the central bank revealed its position, stressing that stablecoins should be considered electronic monetary instruments, a posture rejected by most of the crypto industry.　　Fábio Araújo, consultant for the Department of Regulation of the Financial System (Denor), which assesses the central bank on regulatory issues, argued that stablecoins are different from other assets, such as Bitcoin, and that their regulation should also differ.　　Araújo claimed that digital assets, including bitcoin and ether, constitute unique assets and offer mechanisms that guarantee scarcity, transferability, and verifiability by themselves.　　“With stablecoins, its different… a stablecoin should be considered a real-world asset and, more precisely, when it presents characteristics compatible with means of payment, it should be understood as a form of monetary instrument,”he stressed.　　While this opinion is not definitive or conclusive, it defines the central banks stance on the subject as Congress prepares to consider Bill 4308/2024, introduced in 2024 by Deputy Aureo Ribeiro

Coinbase CEO Says AI Has Turned Engineers Into “Super Builders” Shipping 10x More Code

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says his company has become one of the most AI-enabled businesses in the world, and the results are showing up in how much product its engineers are shipping.　　“Were in the age of the super builder,” Armstrong said, describing how AI has transformed what individual engineers at Coinbase can accomplish. He added that the company is now shipping twice as much code overall, with some engineers becoming what he called ten-times contributors who teach best practices across teams.　　Reacting to the same, a user said that former Coinbase employees now working at other crypto companies have described Coinbase as being far ahead of everyone else when it comes to integrating AI into its engineering culture.　　Cutting AI Spend While Usage Grows　　Armstrong also shared how Coinbase has managed to nearly halve its AI spending even as token usage has grown exponentially. The approach comes down to three techniques rather than friction-based controls or budget alerts.　　The first is smarter model routing, which automatically directs each task to the cheapest model capable of completing it well. The second is aggressive caching, which eliminates redundant outputs when the same query appears repeatedly. The third is a deliberate shift toward cheaper open-weight models for

UK's bold new crypto rules promise to unlock global trading, but huge compliance hurdles still threaten the rollout

The U.K.s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) unveiled its cryptocurrency regulatory framework this week, winning early praise for taking an internationally connected approach, but industry participants said significant questions remain before Britain can establish itself as a global crypto hub.　　The FCAs package of rules creates a framework that preserves access to global liquidity through overseas trading venues and allows non-U.K.-issued stablecoins to circulate, various industry participants have highlighted.　　“The publication of the FCAs final crypto rules is a major milestone for regulatory clarity and a strong outcome for the U.K.s competitiveness in digital asset innovation,” Katie Harries, Coinbases head of policy for Europe, said in a Telegram message.　　Also, FCAs new measures around global liquidity and non-domestic stablecoins contrast with what many industry participants view as the more protectionist approach set out by the European Unions (EU) Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, which effectively encouraged firms to ring-fence European operations and liquidity.　　Particularly, FCAs new Qualifying Cryptoasset Trading Platform (QCATP) model should allow overseas exchanges to serve U.K. customers through locally authorized branches connected to existing global trading infrastructure, according to Christopher Collins, a financial markets and regulation partner at Katten Muchin Rosenman.　　“The benefit of such an approach is allowing access for U.K. customers

Binance and Coinbase Ready for Huge Cardano Upgrade

According to recent ecosystem data, the layer-1 blockchain is approaching full readiness for the V11 hard fork, which has been officially dubbed “van Rossem.”　　Major cryptocurrency exchanges, including industry giants Binance and Coinbase, have already signaled their operational readiness.　　The much-anticipated upgrade is essentially ready to go, but it still needs to receive the final sign-off from the Constitutional Committee (CC).　　The “van Rossem” hard fork？　　The upgrade has been named after the late Max van Rossem, and it is meant to honor his substantial contributions to building the Cardano community and developing its governance structure.　　Technically, V11 is categorized as an “intra-era” hard fork. This means developers can introduce new features and optimize the protocol without moving to a new blockchain era (this makes it possible to minimize protocol disruptions).　　According to Cardano ecosystem contributors, the hard fork will introduce cheaper smart contracts, ZK-ready cryptography, as well as some new built-in functions.　　The van Rossem hard fork is supposed to act as a bridge to Cardanos next Dijkstra era.　　Full readiness　　The van Rossem hard fork requires the decentralized approval of multiple independent actors.　　The network has already successfully executed the hard fork on its Preview and Preprod testnets to make sure that it is stable enough for a

What is Robinhood's New L2 Blockchain？

Robinhood Chain is Robinhoods (@RobinhoodApp) own Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain, and its public mainnet went live on July 1, 2026. It is built to move tokenized stocks, DeFi products and AI-driven trading onto a network that connects straight into Robinhoods app and self-custody wallet. The company switched it on at a London keynote called “The World is Flat,” and HOOD stock climbed more than 8% after the event.　　The more interesting part is what is not new here. Under the branding, Robinhood Chain is a fairly standard Layer 2. The story is less about the technology and more about who is pushing millions of users toward it.　　What is Robinhood Chain built on？　　Robinhood Chainruns on Arbitrums Orbit technology, the same stack behind many custom Layer 2 networks. It settles transactions on Ethereum as an optimistic rollup and uses ETH to pay for gas. There is no separate Robinhood chain token for governance or fees, at least none that the company has announced.　　That design gives it Ethereums security while keeping costs lower than the base layer. Robinhood claims block times of roughly 100 milliseconds, which is fast for a Layer 2 and aimed at trading. The network is fully compatible with Ethereum tooling,
